The post you are reporting:
Jan, the Taliban have no nuclear missiles. Pakistan has them, having developed and constructed them.
I have no knowledge what Pakistan wants to do with them, but presumably they are in connection with India having developed and built nuclear weapons before Pakistan did.
These two countries have been at war three times since 1948 over Kashmir, which is 60% Indian controlled and 40% Pakistani controlled.
Pakistan's nuclear weapons do not come in the context of the secret Nato report which became public after it was revealed to the media the other day. Their nuclear missiles have nothing to do with British or allied soldiers being in Afghanistan.
It is Barry who keeps inventing this story, even though the British Government, both the present and the past, have never stated that our or other soldiers are in Afghanistan in relation to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
I have not misread Barry's post, Howard, and Barry has been bringing this subject up about Pakistani nuclear weapons every time anyone mentions British soldiers being killed in Afghanistan.
So, IF, as Barry suggests, the British Government, past and present, send our soldiers to be killed in Afghanistan because Pakistan has nuclear weapons, then why have they not told this to the British soldiers and to their families?
Why do they not tell the families of hundreds of dead British soldiers that the mission for which their beloved were sent to Afghanistan (fighting the Taliban and training Afghan soldiers and Police) is FALSE, and in reality they are there for another mission, namely to guard, protect??? control from the distance??? Pakistan's nuclear arsenal?.
In fact, the British Government don't have to, because what Barry is saying anout our soldiers being there because of nuclear weapons in P'stan is a pure invention.
They are officially there to train Afghan police and soldiers and fight the Taliban.
However, everyone, including NATO intelligence, knows that the Afghan police and army are giving the weapons they receive from the West to the Taliban to kill our and allied soldiers, and everyone knows that the Taliban are becoming more popular in Afghanistan and very soon will be a part of a new government there.
The novelty to all this, which I found in the Nato report, was that the Pakistani government and secret service are actually supplying the roadside bombs to the Taliban and telling them what to do, and are doing everything to prevent peace in Afghanistan, because Pakistan wants the Taliban in power, who depend on Pakistan, and not Karzai, the western backed president in Kabul, who could open up relations with India.
My point is, why are British soldiers being murdered in Afghanistan when we all know that their mission is doomed, and was doomed, from the start?
They must return home now!
